Fuel Weights?

[wgalligan]

Is Magnum blend mixed by volume.  Art seems to think there is more nitro in this stuff at 10% then other brands because of the way it is mixed.
I so far cant tell the diff between Maugnum 10% and Cool Power 15%.

  Nitro by Volume!!! 15% by volume is 19.2 oz. per gallon. By wieght it's only about 16 oz. + or -.

    So do we want 'em to mix by VOLUME or by WEIGHT ?
    Which means more?  (Better yet, which is BETTER???)

      No, no he's right. NOMe is the densest component of fuel. A volume measure that 
      corresponds to 15% (by Vol), weighs more than 15% (by weight) of the fuel weight . It's right Bob; think about it

        To further confuse matters, some manufactures (few) mix the fuel by volume
        (ie 15% nitro means 15% by volume) where other manufactures mix by weight
        (ie 15% nitro means 15% of the weight is nitro).  Obviously, the ones that
        mix by volume have more nitro in their 15% fuel than the ones that mix by
        volume.
